Summary:

"This fascinating introduction explores the life and work of Blake. From his early training in draughtsmanship and his pivotal time as an engraver's apprentice, it traces his incredible career through a selection of extrordinary works and highlights his lifelong interest in intergrating visual art and poetry, which culminated in the experiemental printing technique that he used to create his famous illuminated books. An artist dedicated to his work, Blake's intriguing creative vision, at times both hopeful and apocalyptic, has had a lasting cultural impact that continues to capture the imagination today"-- Back cover.
